OCC advisory board member Sam Sorbo appears in this new documentary, By Dawn’s Early Light. Former OCC advisory board member and Oregon’s own Vance Day, senior counsel to acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche, has been working on this project for months. It’s safe to say this is his baby and we’re very proud of him and his work!

Deschutes County is a prime target for @ORConservCaucus. We need to flip 10x more voters to Republican there than we had to in Tillamook County, but the population is much larger and the right-leaning minority party and nonaffiliated voters are there. #fliporegonred#orpol
We've begun releasing OCC policy statements with more in the hopper. When we eventually move into supporting candidates, initiatives and other efforts in Oregon, they will align with those policies. We're thankful for the input of our expert advisory board, members, and policy committee for their knowledge and experience in creating these briefs - conservative and constitutional, every one of them.
The Oregon Conservative Caucus (OCC) would like to express our sincere condolences to Charlie Kirk’s friends, family, close colleagues, and loved ones. We have no doubt that Charlie is with Jesus; his faith was very clear. The most difficult times, though, lie ahead for his wife and children, who must now be incredibly brave as they move forward without their husband, best friend, and father. His organization will also have to pick up the pieces and figure out how to fill a void that’s nearly impossible for them to fill.
The fact is, many of us on OCC’s Board of Directors and Advisory Board, and within our membership, did know Charlie personally. To some, he was a friend. To others, a political acquaintance. To a few, someone met in passing with a lasting impression. To all, a political ally with shared ideologies on the same side of this constant fight between good and evil.
Most of us are still in a state of shock.
Charlie was no stranger to Oregon politics. When Solomon Yue, our Co-Chair, was subjected to a bogus recall effort from his National Committeeman role instigated largely by ORP’s Don Powers and his supporters, Charlie took exception to a fellow America First patriot being targeted. He sat down and cut a video on Solomon’s behalf. Later, the written endorsement statement for Solomon caused Turning Point and Charlie to be flooded with hate mail from that same Oregon group but also, we believed, from fake accounts often generated by CCP-owned offshore digital farms. This behavior garnered a laugh and was nothing new – they saw it all the time, and worse.
Charlie stepped in again during ORP’s last National Committeewoman race because he and Turning Point leadership in general were critical of incumbent Tracy Honl’s performance within the RNC and quite taken with candidate and now-OCC member Rejeana Jackson, her Christian faith, fighting spirit, and deep conservative values.
Charlie affected political circles in every single state to one degree or another.
With a political assassination as horrific and blatant as this surely was, comes an inevitable awakening. The far left’s push for violence is factually indisputable, and their policies fly in the face of all that’s holy. Charlie’s death will doubtless inspire multitudes of conservative voices to rise. Our country has hit a tipping point, but for today, let’s celebrate a life well lived and remember his legacy.
“Well done, good and faithful servant!” Matthew 25:21

OCC Creates Joel Pawloski Memorial Scholarship
SALEM, OR—August 14, 2025— The Oregon Conservative Caucus (OCC) Board of Directors – Kerry McQuisten, Solomon Yue, Jean Sampson, Russ Walker and Randy Pullen – are pleased to announce the creation of the Joel Pawloski Memorial Scholarship.
The Board voted unanimously last night to create this scholarship to honor the memory of the organization’s late president of the Oregon Conservative Caucus of Marion County, Joel Pawloski, who recently succumbed to lung cancer.
The $1,000 scholarship, to be awarded annually, will be open to pre-registered and registered Republicans in Oregon who are entering a college, university, or trade school for the first time. Immediate family members of the OCC Advisory Board or Board of Directors are ineligible for consideration. Applications will open by the summer of 2026 with the scholarship to be dispersed in time for the fall 2026 school year. More details about the application process will be released at a later date, and will be consistent with the organization’s mission including registering new voters and promoting conservative values in Oregon.
OCC, an all-volunteer 501(c)(4) nonprofit, was founded in 2024 with a focus on registering Republicans, getting out the vote, and grassroots education. More information can be found at https://t.co/xaWzjc9ZCV.
